Hi guys,
I had a couple of queries regarding the enclosures and metering for the GSSL build.
Firstly I would like to incorperate the original meter from the SSL mixbuss as thats what I've always been used to using and I've come across two options as because you probably all know the original Sifam PPM 14 meter is out of production.
These two options are:
A) A Presentor 19 FR19B from Sifam which Canford Audio say than get hold of for me which seems to be the closest equivalent Sifam do to the original PPM 14.
B) Buying a replacement meter directly from SSL:

It mentions that this meter is only suitable for G Compressors made after November 2010.Not sure why this is?Maybe someone can enlighten me?Surely with a bit of circuit tweeking it should be fine for the GSSL no?
Secondly I am looking at getting a custom front panel made for the build and am looking at getting this manufactured by FrontPanel Express:

I was wondering if anyone knew a good source for a relatively cheap 19" rack enclosure which would be compatible with a Front Panel manufactured by FrontPanel Express.
Any help, recommendations and insights from experienced builders would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
